Renewable Heat Incentive

The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is the world’s first long-term financial support programme for renewable heat. The RHI pays participants of the scheme that generate and use renewable energy to heat their buildings. By increasing the generation of heat from renewable energy sources (instead of fossil fuels), the RHI helps the UK reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet targets for reducing the effects of climate change.

Non-Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive

The non-domestic RHI scheme has been open to commercial, industrial, public sector, not for profit and heat networks since November 2011. The scheme is designed to bridge the gap between the cost of fossil fuel heat installations and renewable heat alternatives through financial support for owners. The scheme helps businesses, the public sector and non-profit organisations meet the cost of installing renewable heat technologies.

Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive

The domestic RHI is a UK Government financial support scheme for renewable heat, targeted at, but not limited to, off gas grid households. The scheme covers England, Wales and Scotland only and will cover single domestic dwellings. It will be open to owner-occupiers, private landlords, Registered Providers of Social Housing, third party owners of heating systems and self-builders. The Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC) intend intend that the scheme will open to applications in Spring 2014 and will be administered by Ofgem.
